What a difference time makes!

When I last attended the Colorado Software Summit back in 1999, I was without computer and internet access for a week. Back then, the slides for the 50 different presentations were handed out in a very heavy ring binder, and sore shoulders were garanteed when carrying this load of papers around for the entire week.

Now, the presentations are available on a CD, in editable PDF, and the bag which is handed out this first day of the conference is designed to hold a laptop. High speed WIFI abound, both at the conference center and in the hotel.

Some things do remain the same. The americans are still polite, and the coffee mug, which is a part of the merchandise, is as distinctive as ever!

I shall be blogging during the week’s presentations, and hopefully I can present you with a glimpse of the many coloured splendour which is the Colorado Software Summit, held in the beautiful, but oxygen deprived Rocky Mountains.
